Yea just save us ALL the trouble, and just format your drive and just reinstall windows. Then all you need are video drivers. Unless you have a stereo system connected to your computer, you dont need special sound drivers.

So I have to reinstall everything else? Also can someone explain the process of reformatting and reinstalling Windows, as in what steps do I do? By the way the Windows 7 Disk is OEM, not retail. Because of this is there anything I should be aware of?

You can still reinstall it.

Just put the disk into the CDRom, and boot to it. Press F12, or Del (whatever POST says for "quick boot selection")
Read the prompts and go from there. Its just like installing Windows for the first time.

Then install your drivers and your programs and all that. Be clean about it. After you reformat, you should take that as a lesson to learn how to organize your computer better. But most importantly, its the best thing for windows. Its obviously messed up at the OS level.

Take a note of how big your C drive is

When you get to this screen:

You click drive options
You click your drive that is the size of your C drive (if there are multiple options)
You click the format (eraser)
Click yes and it will format the drive.
Click next and it will install windows.

If you have itunes, deauthorize the computer and back up everything you need before doing this.

Back up anything else. This format is a quick format but quite a bit of it will be damaged beyond repair.

ONLY INSTALL VIDEO DRIVERS WHEN YOU GET BACK ONTO YOUR DESKTOP

Limit the programs you install to things you actually use. Everything else should not be installed or uninstalled after you are sure your done using it (it can be installed later).

Edited:

Formating my C drive only took a few seconds, is that supposed to happen (I'm follow Jord's guide).

Edited:

What the fuck apparently I forgot my password for my new Windows account.

Edited:

Reinstalled Windows 7 because I "forgot" my password :saddowns:. Seriously, it was that password! Well I only got so far as installing the nVidia drivers and MSE.

Back from dinner. It BSOD'd for sure since I just saw it BSOD. :saddowns:

1) RAM? Maybe, but remember I did a 6 hour Memtest.
2) CPU? I got a Phenom II as an upgrade to my Athlon back in January.
3) Motherboard? Don't know how to check if it's a motherboard though.
4) HDD? Chkdsk came up fine a couple pages ago
5) GPU? Probably the drivers
6) Drivers? Only drivers I installed was the 275.33 driver for my GTS 250 and it was the first thing I installed after the Windows 7 reinstallation. I did install Chrome, MSE, Steam, and some games right after in that order.

I think it can be something with the voltage, or something else with the hardware. Now we definately know its not OS related. Unless you installed a driver for something you shouldn't of have.

I did overclock my CPU from 3.2 GHz to 3.6 GHz for about a month but then the first set of BSODs came rolling in. Bringing it back to stock 3.2 GHz didn't obviously solve the BSODs . I didn't touch the voltage on the RAM, but if somehow I affected the voltages how can I bring it back to stock?

Edited:

Should I try running with one stick of RAM at a time? Although my 2 2 GBS sticks are dual channel, does that mean they can't run without the other?

Oh also I got a MEMORY.dmp file in C: Windows but it's 300 MB. Also I can't upload it because of insufficient privileges (even though I'm administrator).

you can use one stick. you wont be able to much at all but it will work. I do not do overclocking so I dont know what to tell you there.

Hmm. I'll try the one stick thing tomorrow or after you guys check out the .dmp files. Also do you want the MEMORY.dmp file? Only problem is that I don't know how to upload it because the websites say insufficient privileges and crap like that. Should I move the .dmp to the desktop or something?

memory.dmp is worthless. the media fire thing is completely empty. move the dump files out to the desktop first before zipping them
